With the exception of the outdoorsman model which can run from a 20 lb tank, the indoor gas heaters require a 100 lb because of the speed at which the gas flows to the heater. The faster the propane flow the colder the propane gets (experience this by blowing air gently from your mouth to your hands, then blow some air as hard as you can into your hands - the faster moving air is colder than the slower moving air).

Answer: On average, the Q20 Low Pressure Burner will run for 15 hours on a 20 lb. propane tank when turned up, while the E53 High Pressure Burner will run for 4 hours on a 20 lb. tank when turned up fully. Keep in mind you usually back off the gas after the wort begins boiling, so your fuel consumption will probably be quite a bit better than these figures. Answer: Get the Q20 Low Pressure Burner. It features a much finer degree of gas control than the E53 High Pressure Burner.

Answer: Most of our heaters require a 100 lb. tank or larger unless they state otherwise in the heater description.

I do believe in having a second tank around. During summer months I keep a full one in the garage to swap out when the one on the pop-up gets low. During the winter I carry the second tank while camping because it can get mighty cold if you run out of gas and it's 40 outside. It is possible to get an automatic changeover regulator which will switch to a second tank when the first one is empty.

On the top of the LP Gas tank, stamped in the metal will be the Tare (EMPTY ) Weight, it will be written something like "TW = 18" If your weight is 23 pounds it is easy to figure, (23 - 18 = 5) you know you have 5 pounds of LP, or 1/4 tank.

Overfill Protection Device (O.P.D.) prevents accidental gas leaks caused by tank over-pressurization, the leading cause of tank gas leaks. The float in the tank will automatically stop filling at 80% capacity, leaving a 20% area for the expansion of the liquid propane when it is exposed to warmer temperatures. Without this safety feature, the relief valve may open and discharge propane, creating a potential safety hazard. Propane tanks equipped with the O.P.D.

O.P.D. stands for Overfill Protection Device, which is located inside a propane cylinder and is equipped with a float that will prohibit propane from exceeding 80% capacity during the filling procedure. The 20% empty volume allows for expansion of the gas (which is naturally cold) therefore not allowing the propane tank to be overfilled. This creates peace of mind and safe enjoyable cooking experience for the owner. O.P.
